They were able to do a rush replacement on our furnace. They overcharged but that's partially due to the rush. They got it up and running but broke part of the water heater. The furnace tech apologized and promised to make it right. They did eventually fix it for free but it took us getting management involved. read more

I didn't realize that Dean's was dishonest business. They talked me into a service contract because "my first invoice would cover the charge. I had them back because part of the contract was an inspection of my system. 1st. The furnace guy is to "inspect." He took my freaking furnace apart! It was a mess. He said, " See the little crack on my phone? You're leaking CO2. I should lock you out, but I won't." Total lie, they would have to lock me out if it was really leaking. Liar, no CO2 It wasn't leaking anything as Xcel told me! , 2nd, This guy from Dean's shows up to "inspect my plumbing." Why? How do you inspect my plumbing? "Well, I run the water and flush the toilets..." What a load of bs. I said, "I think I would know if there was something wrong with the plumbing. Dean's is a shyster operation that is looking to sell you services you don't need. read more

I contacted this company to clear out a blocaked pipe underneath my kitchen sink. I was quoted almost $500 to snake the pipe which I thought was ridiculous but we agreed to pay it. The tech tried for a couple of hours and couldn't get it. He proceeded to tell me he needed to step outside to call his boss to figure out the next step. He then comes in and tells me that his boss would be sending out a plumber but we needed to still pay the total amount. I said I'm not paying that and you did absolutely nothing. He says I'll step outside and call my boss again and see what we can do. He comes back in and says my boss says you have to pay the total amount. I said I'm not. He then says let me call him again. I said the most important thing willin to lay is $200 for the time you spent and I thought that was high. He comes back in and says we can take the $200. In my opinion this company is nothing but opportunist and scam artists. I am highly upset because I basically paid to have nothing done and on top of that they tried to beat me read more

Company one hand didn't know what the other was doing. Was rambled a bunch of numbers then told different story from office and conflicting information. Then billed almost double what I was told. Would not recommend. read more

I had two toilets installed .I paid the bill in full before the toilets were installed. when they were installed they found out I did not need. two valve shut offs. so I should have gotten a refund for the full amount of the tow shut offs, but was only given a partial;l refund. when I com-plained the person told me to have a nice day. read more

They automatically enrolled me to their 99$ per year membership without my knowledge and charged me after doing a sump pump repair. This is absolutely infuriating read more

Dean's Home Services - Fraudulent charge for a membership I never signed up for after they fixed my sump pump. - Heating & Air Conditioning/HVAC Near Me - Maple Grove, Minnesota

Terrible company! Called for a quote for 2 faucet replacements. Technician quized me on who put in my water heater like he was a cop on a mission. Then decided to quote me plumber scripture about permit and codes like I was someone fascinated by his vast knowledge. Because the quote was a laughable $3000, I didn't sign the contract, so low-and-behold, I have to pay $49. And Mr. Plumber Police told me the only way he could waive the fee is if I signed the contract approving service. Fucking thieves. There's a reason they have a shitty rating. read more

AN HONEST GUIDE TO DEANS: BEWARE FOR MOST I was a loyal customer and Dean's Club member, using most of their services for over five years. My most recent interaction was so unethical that it pushed me to investigate them. What I found was a pattern of unethical practices and inflated pricing. This review aims to warn others. 1. WHY THE POSITIVE REVIEWS? If you have an emergency--a burst pipe or dead furnace issue in the winter--they will dispatch a technician promptly. When you're in a bind, that kind of service is valuable, and many people, myself included, have left glowing reviews based on those quick fixes. Their techs generally do quality work and use above-average materials. However, convenience comes at a cost. You will pay far more than you would with other companies, and while some technicians are excellent, there are bad apples among them and management doesn't care. I read one comment on Facebook that they were offered money to remove a negative Google review. This puts much of their reputation in question. 2. EXORBITANT PRICES Dean's is expensive. My research shows that their pricing can be 50% to 300% higher than competitors. A tech once told me that up to 40% of their charges go toward advertising. Big companies with a large staff, flashy uniforms, and a marketing budget pass those expenses onto the customer. Their sales strategy is clever: they inflate prices dramatically, but if you push back, they'll offer a "discount," making you feel like you got a good deal. However, even after negotiating, you're still paying far more than what other companies would charge for the same service. Many reviews mention haggling with Dean's and having the price drop by thousands of dollars after involving a manager. This is not a one-off occurrence, and the practice is designed to make customers think they're getting a special deal when in reality, they're still overpaying. 3. UNETHICAL & MANIPULATIVE TACTICS I recently had my complimentary Dean's furnace inspection by Jeff B. Jeff claimed my heat exchanger might be cracked, potentially leaking carbon monoxide and endangering my family. He provided pictures and videos to back up his claims, but when I asked him to measure the carbon monoxide levels, he said he couldn't. That was a lie and confirmed by another company the next day (safe levels). Jeff also pointed out a gas leak in a pipe connected to my water heater, stating he had to shut off my gas and "red tagged" me. Conveniently, he then offered to replace the entire system the next day--for 20k. When I expressed hesitation and said I needed to do research, Jeff discouraged me from looking online, stating I wouldn't know what to search for. Eventually, he lowered the price to 18k. The pressure to make a decision was intense, and I can't imagine how many cave into this guy's methods. He even mocked me for sharing that I needed to talk to my wife before I could make a decision. After he left I started making calls and researched for days. I discovered I was being manipulated. 4. DEFLECTIVE CUSTOMER SERVICE I contacted the company. Initially, they were friendly and apologetic. I'm ashamed to admit it that they almost bought me off. They offered me a steep discount for my troubles and I almost took it and even tried to get them to go lower, trying to make the most out of a terrible situation. I realized this was wrong so I shared with them other reviews I discovered that showed Jeff and others had pulled this same stunt over the years. I went back and forth with the service manager, Eddie, and Instead of addressing that this is a systemic problem, he merely directed my attention to the 5-star reviews that they have. He even characterized Jeff as merely pushy. Conclusion If you value convenience and don't mind overpaying (like a lot), Dean's might still be an option for you. But for the rest of us, look for someone who doesn't put all their costs into marketing. See screenshots to see that I am not alone. read more

We had an Electrician (Liz C) come out today (1.21.26) to finish the electrical work on our new furnace we had installed approx. 1 1/2 months ago. Liz C came out and did some rewiring to both our AC and our furnace. NOW WE HAVE NO HEAT!! Not sure what she did or didn't do but she never checked to make sure our furnace was working properly before she left. Called the office to get her back out to fix what she did wrong, to no avail. This was her mistake, not ours. We should have been top priority from her mistake. We were told they would try to get us in as soon as they can. She will not get a good review from us, and she will not be doing anymore repairs in our home. This is totally unacceptable. We thought very highly of Dean's. We have spent thousands of dollars with them. We had very good experiences with the plumbing and heating guys. After this, she totally ruined that for us. I can no longer recommend your company to others after this. We are totally dissatisfied with this outcome. read more

I have had a Deans membership for 20 years. With it I am to get a free AC inspection in the Spring and free Furnace inspection in the Fall. I called for my Spring inspection in April but they had no appointments available at all. This September I called for my furnace inspection, but they had no appointments available at all. Not now and nothing in the future. They took my membership money no problem but refuse to even give me an appointment. They do however call monthly or more trying to sell me expensive services. When I called to complain they smiled and politely said they have cancelled my membership. The technicians were good when they did come, but that is them, not the company. The company Admin is the worst. read more

1-Star Review - Very Disappointed I would NOT recommend Dean's Home Services. They charged me $1,200 and didn't even fix the problem. Then they tried to convince me that I needed all new plumbing for thousands more dollars. I got a second opinion from another professional who fixed the issue for only $300 -- no major plumbing needed. When I contacted Dean's to discuss reimbursement, they refused to refund any of my money. This experience left me feeling completely taken advantage of. Please be careful before hiring them -- get a second opinion first! read more

After having a different tech from a different company come out to look at our water heater, he informed my husband that a hose had been purposely twisted (tampering) which caused our water heater to temporarily quit functioning. The Dean's tech responsible for this had warned my husband before he left that our water heater may may not work after he leaves and to call him if that happens, so that he can come back. When we confronted Dean's about the tampering in an effort to make unneeded repairs at 300% markup, they denied it and even tried to convince us they did not know what the hose was that their tech had tampered with. If they don't know the basic parts of a water heater, they shouldn't be in business. Steer clear of this company! They are not operating an honest, legal business. Don't sign anything before they tell and show you what they found and intend to do. Better yet, just call anyone else to take care of your repairs and upkeep. read more

I signed up for Dean's Club Membership in early January 2025. I scheduled an AC check up in the Spring. They sent an appointment reminder email a day before the appointment and I confirmed the appointment. I waited the whole next day at home for them to arrive and they did not show up. I just tried to schedule a Fall furnace tune up and they said they were not accepting furnace tune up appointments until further notice. The cost of their annual membership was $99. I've received no service the entire year on their plan. I'm waiting for a call back, as there is no one there now to talk directly to about cancelling, and I'll see if they refund my membership fee. I doubt it! Kenneth W. Maple Grove, MN read more

Fixed kitchen sink, but have been harassed ever since. I scheduled their free inspection, in which they never showed, and rescheduled it for a few weeks later with no notice. I've been bombarded with calls and texts regularly, from numerous numbers, after me telling them multiple times to stop. Horrible business practices!​ read more

We initially called Dean's Home Services because CenterPoint was not able to come out until 7/30. Deans charged us $250 and told us the unit couldn't be fixed and we needed to replace both the furnace and air-conditioner. Deans was going to send someone out to give us a quote for new equipment. Luckily, CenterPoint came out before that happened and replaced the need parts. The service guys at CenterPoint were great, and we were told there was no need to replace neither the furnace or air-conditioner. Deans really tried to sell us something we didn't need . Thanks read more

Wanted a leaking faucet replaced with one we already purchased and also a plastic sink drain replaced with a metal one we already purchased and we are quoted just over $2,000 for that. If I paid an additional $99 for their "service plan" I would get a 15% discount which brought it down to $1,690. I don't know how or where they think they can charge 1,200 an hour for labor but I cannot stress enough DO NOT CALL THIS PLACE FOR WORK!!!! read more

Got a new mini-split installed 5 years ago for $20k. Every year the thing was flat. I would have to call them to fix it, and they could never figure it out. They would just recharge it and leave. Fast forward to today, the labor warranty is expired so they won't come out anymore. Had to go with another HVAC contractor to put in a whole new system at my own expense. Turns out Dean's did not properly seal the insulation around the coolant lines, allowing water to get in there and corrode the pipes. If you think air conditioning is worth over $4000 a year, call deans. Otherwise, go with somebody who can actually do the job right. The most amazing part of this whole story is the new system costs less than the old system from Dean's. I guess I should have known something like this would happen. My first trouble with deans was over 10 years ago, I had a mixing valve replaced on my boiler for $600. They guy put it on backwards. I had them come back out and re-do it but come on. How do you put a $50 part on backwards when the customer is paying you $600 to do it. read more

Dean's Home Services, I cannot stress enough about how much I despise their business practices on all levels. This company is soooo unprofessional and pray on taking advantage of any service opportunity especially the elderly. Numerous people experiencing many levels of deceit, unneeded work, horrible customer service and what appears to be as technicians working on commission based on their inflated billed parts and labor! read more

To expensive for cheap product. High pitch noise evertime it comes on.use 8 filters when old heater used 2 winter and summer. Not a good company. Told dean they told buy more filter yeah right. Don't use deans bad deal. read more

Do not under any circumstances use this company. They LOVE using a good plumbing emergency to swoop in and scare you with dreadful stories of all the dire things wrong with your house and then they rob you blind. I was under duress and signed the contract and paid the money. The next day I was feeling so ill over the whole situation because I knew that something was just not right and so I had another plumber come over and inspect Dean's work and look over their line-by-line invoice. I learned they charged more than twice the going rate and I am now out over $1700. I will admit they have a very well executed plan. Shiny new vans and they "throw in so many discounts just for you" and friendly seeming workers at first but but don't fall for it: friendly quickly becomes slimy. I've never been more ripped off and they laughed all the way to the bank. Learn from my mistake. read more

Deans Home Services got my attention after calling me again after my initial call. The other company I thought would work had to cancel due to staff shortage and Ashley at Deans called me to say do you need us? Like an angel that fell from the sky...and made my appointment for next day. Texted to confirm and called next day 20 minutes before appointment and angel #2 arrived. Brian was personable put booties on...surveyed our first floor bath and the prep we had done to get ready for toilet pull and install the new one we had. He had his tablet- gave me senior and veterans discount, Ashley had waived trip charge and in about one hour he pulled and installed new toilet, made sure no leaks, caulked around bottom and took my empty box. I valued a quality job and his skill. They are now our plumbers and in addition gave me tips about my lack of water shutoff to the fridge another company said was not fixable. Thank You Brian and Ashley for great service!! read more

I had a disappointing experience with this service, similar to others who have given low ratings. I provided the materials to replace my bathroom fixtures and received a quote of nearly $3000. I assumed this cost was due to the significant labor involved, which justified the flat rate price I was given. Despite questioning the quote, I was assured it was a flat rate based on the job being done. When it was time for the actual service to take place, the technician only took 2.5 hours. Even considering drive time, technician skillset, etc. this flat-rate service was outrageously overpriced. I felt taken advantage of, especially since I lacked the skills to do the work myself. My follow-up conversation with their customer service was equally unsatisfactory, with a dismissive response suggesting they might not be the right fit for me. read more

Stay away! If I could give negative stars, I would. I called Dean's because I had an outdoor spigot that had seemingly locked up and couldn't be turned on. They sent someone out the next day. The technician looked at the spigot from about 3 feet away and took some pictures with his ipad. He never touched it or even tried to see if he could turn the knob. Without even truly examining it, he said we needed a new spigot that would require cutting open the wall in our basement. And also we should get multiple shut off valves installed. I was given 4 estimates ranging from $2200-$3100. And of course those estimates include their membership fees. I called a different plumber and it was a simple fix and the total cost $175. If I had read a few reviews that basically say others experienced the same thing, I never would have called them originally. read more

Stay away from DEANS Had a crazy week recently due to a Mpls storm where I had major problems with my water heater, AC, and electrical panel As mentioned over and over in other reviews Deans is a company that does not believe in a long term relationship but rather making as much as possible on each given sales opportunity. Deans experience Electrical panel - grade C Was told that I needed a new panel and unfortunately due to needing electricity and them being the first group that could get out to look at it / work on it I paid the quote even though my research online showed this to be 30-40% higher than market in the Mpls metro area. (the sales rep / electrician when questioned had great comebacks to my challenges on the pricing) AC - grade F Deans AC guy (Jeff B) was referred from Deans Electrician group. Jeff came out and said that he would take a look at the whole SYSTEM and we could then sit down and discuss quote as it does not look or sound good. I could smell this was not good so while he was cking out EVERYTHING and periodically letting me know all the ISSUES I scheduled 3 other appts with other companies. All 3 groups were busy and were 2 - 8 days out for an appt but at this point I looked at that as a good sign. Long story short Deans AC guy (Jeff) gave me two quotes for AMANA systems. Deans (Jeff) first quote was for over 20k LOL (the Great option as he shared) Second quote was for as he phrased the Good system and it was for over 18k LOL I then asked for print outs of the quotes as I had additional appts that I had now set up. He then back tracked and said that they are not busy and that the manager will cut me a great deal if i sign today and cancel the other appts. But I said I would move forward w my other appt estimates and he then tried 1 more thing on the way out the door "I could try a band aid for $500 but warned me that this usually does not work but he was willing to give it a shot" I thanked him for the offer and then just requested that he send me the quote and follow up. I got a quote for over 12k with no explanation for the amazing discount other than a line item that said Manager discount. Next group came out to give an estimate looked at everything we and said that it would be a bigger job when needed as we have an old house with an old system but for now, he can fix my current problem for trip charge, part and labor equaling $349 and that I should be able to make this system last 3-5 years and should budget for 10k :-) This group earned my business and have shared their name multiple times already read more

DO NOT CALL - You will be out $400 before anything gets done. $79 feet just to show up then to tell you it's $295 to diagnose the problem. Huge waste of time. Never calling again. read more

scheduled a simple toilet repair (constantly running in bowl) with Dean's. They emailed to verify they'd be out. they called in the morning and gave an estimate of noon to three o'clock. But at 2:15 they called to say sorry, need to reschedule. No reason or explanation. So, I would not recommend. they don't care enough to even show up. read more

Used Dean's this spring for some plumbing work. Cost was high, but work was fine. Signed up for their Club service membership, which is supposed to give you deals and priority service. The first time I tried to use it to have a complimentary annual air conditioner check , they told me I had called too late to take advantage of that. The next time I called them, our air conditioner had actually stopped working. I had to call three times(with them promising a quick callback from a service tech.). No callback, but after three hours, someone in the office called to say they could have someone out in four days. It was 95 degrees that day, and no help in sight. So much for priority service. We called someone else, who came out the same day. We'll NEVER call Dean's again. read more

A few months ago, the company that I was with sold to Dean's Home Service's. I'm very dissatisfying with them. So even though I spent thousands of dollars on a new other they won't come out in service the agreement that I signed with the other to maintenance my AC because they're only dealing with emergency situations and I have a new furnace. Then by compensating me, they gave me with them. Then send out a plumber to look at my water heater. I reserved the whole day for them and then I got a window the same day from 12 to 3. then after 3:30 I called them and then had to wait for a call back. Just to inform me they called me and left a voicemail. I never got a call and never got a voicemail and the person I spoke to said we record everything. i Don't know how to tell them they are full of baloney. So I'm doing it on here. I'd give zero star if I could.0 read more

Dean's quoted me a price on a furnace where I would get 2 rebates. After they tore out the old furnace is when they told me they couldn't install the one I was quoted because of the configuration in the ceiling. When I was shown the issue in the ceiling - I could tell they could have easily seen this when doing the quote and before removing old furnace. The worst part is that the office staff responsible for mailing me the final close out inspection slip that the city inspector says I need -- Does Not Return My Calls for same. Have tried several times. read more

I had some strange things happening with my 1 year old air conditioner this spring and called Dean's. They responded quickly and said that a technician would be available in 2 days; a day and a half later they called to push off my appointment twice. When a technician arrived he said he was the wrong person for this particular call. The story is too long to recount here, but there was a total of 4 technicians, a new board (that was ordered but not installed), a new (cheaper) thermostat and a $700 bill. The issue was NOT fixed. The 5th technician looked at the wiring of the Air and found a wire nut off of 2 wires. All of the other techs looked at the same wiring. I was NOT imppressed. read more

I was quoted over $1000.00 to replace a older ceiling fan and switch, are they crazy. I already had the new fan.

BAD NEWS! Former (very happy) client of DeZiel HVAC for over 10 years. It appears that DeZiel and Deans are "partnering" now. Called DeZiel's main numbers And they all forward to Dean's even though there is nothing on either company website about their "association"! Our first call was Sat night at 7pm. No return call untii I called Dean's again at 9am Sun. Call was from a young woman named Ashley who was rude, condescending unhelpful Didn't seem to care that the house is at 50 degrees. Her best effort was to have a tech call me between 8 and 4 the following day Even though we pay for 24 hour emergency service by contract with DeZiel and the entire system is still under warranty. We really miss DeZiel but will have nothing to do with Dean' moving forward. read more

I am frustrated. I contacted Dean's Home Services because the Chandelier in my dining room shorted out. When they called to set up a "service" with an electrician they said they would come out an look at the breaker box and the outlet but that they would not do anything with the chandelier - if that was the problem. Though they WOULD charge me for the house call. What kind of service that, Dean's? read more

fantastic tech he knew exactly what needed to be done and how to replace my water heater. Only thing that went wrong was they put me on the $99 Deans Club Membership. I was never told about this by either tech's (two employees) I wasn't aware of any extra services till I got the Billing statement. called and was on the $99 autopay. wow not to happy about that how about telling the customer first about this service before I see it on my bill. Great Service and great Tec's to bad that they stuck in a one two punch fee of $99 yearly fee hoping the customer wouldn't see it read more

Stay away from this scamming company!! Definitely seemed to be trying to take advantage of the bad timing of my furnace issues and my lack of knowledge of HVAC. My furnace in the rental unit I own stopped working in 10 below weather. I contacted Dean's and they were able to come out that day. The technician diagnosed the problems. He gave me a long list of items that were bad and extremely costly to replace. He also gave a replacement cost of $13,000 but I could put it on credit for 15,000. It didn't seem possible this many issues would have happened at once, since I have never had more than 1 part go bad on a furnace at a time. I told him he could leave and I would call him back if I needed help. He then threatened that he might have to tag out the furnace. I then called another company that estimated they could replace the whole furnace for 2700$. It turned out to be a minor fix, but had the furnace replaced due to its age anyway. The tech from Dean's contacted me and I told him I found another company to replace the furnace for less than 1/4th of the price quote he gave. He then seemed to try to convince me he was talking about the A/C and furnace and could use a cheaper model, etc. He seemed agitated that I was not using his company. read more

They are all liers, they said my furnace was cracked and it was better to replace it all together. We had a friend that does this kind of things and he said it was only scratched and he was able to fix it right away at no cost since it was a simple fix. I'm glad I didn't believe a word of what this Kody guy said because a repair was going to cost us 3K and replacing the furnace 7K. read more

Had a terrible experience with Dean's Home Services. I was naive to think that the company would quote me a fair price for a ceiling fan installation. I provided all the materials, including the already assembled fans, to replace two light fixtures. They quoted me $1200 for that install which in my mind was just labor as there was no adjustment to the existing wiring or mounting box. When asked for detail on the price - they said they don't provide their customers itemized billing and refuse to provide transparency on what is behind that quoted "flat rate". AVOID them at all costs. Customer Service is a joke - they basically told me they don't care if I use them again or write a bad review. read more

Apparently, they thought that since my gas meter was red tagged, I was an easy target for gouging. The technician, Erik, started by saying everything would have to be COMPLETELY disassembled. Then he told me it would cost $500. I pointed out how easy the repair of the one joint was and he said "Why don't you do it yourself?" I called another company, Joel Smith Heating & AC. Their minimum charge was $209. He completed the repair in less than 30 minutes. read more

I wish that I would have read the negative reviews before having them out to my house. I was charged $700 to put in a turbo capacitator. The recommendation was to replace the entire AC unit for $9,000, as replacing the capacitator would just be a temporary fix. I had a meeting coming up so I did not have time to look into what this should cost, so I agreed to the $700 fix. Now after further research I have found this should not have cost more than $300! My receipt shows no itemized detail of what was included in the $700. Also, once the new capacitator was put in, the tech offered to drop the price of replacing the entire unit to $6,000. How can the price to replace the unit fluctuate $3,000 within 15 minutes?! I do not trust this company and will not use them again. Do not recommend. read more

Received a very bloated quote for furnace replacement. According to my calculations, (assuming 5 hours per furnace) their hourly rate is about $2,000. Similar hourly rate seems to be embedded in their quotes for plumbing work. I think this is excessive, but it works for non-repeat or naive customers! So if you are a first time customer - buyer beware. read more
